Construct Validity of the Staff Resource Adequacy Questionnaire for Healthcare Professionals (SRAQ-HP): An Exploratory and Confirmatory Factor Analysis from Latvia.

ABSTRACT: Background: An effective healthcare system relies on sufficient and competent human resources. However, many countries face staff shortages, burnout, and turnover, which threaten the quality and safety of care. To address the absence of validated tools assessing healthcare professionals' perceptions of staff resource adequacy in Latvia, the Staff Resource Adequacy Questionnaire for Healthcare Professionals (SRAQ-HP) was developed. Methods: This study examined its construct validity through exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) using a nationwide sample of 1369 healthcare professionals. EFA supported a three-factor structure comprising (1) adequacy of workload and staff resources, (2) quality of care, and (3) working conditions and support. <
